Most of us are so focused on what we want to do, to accomplish, to be or to have that we take nary a nanosecond to focus on what we’ve already done. Our accomplishments. The things that make us feel proud, accomplished and grateful.

We don’t look over our shoulder, back in time, and reflect on the road we’ve traveled.

And if we don’t do that then it follows that we don’t take a moment to pat ourselves on the proverbial back. To heave a sigh of thanks, to send a prayer of gratitude to whomever may be listening.

– I’m very proud of my United Nations work last year. I wrote a new manual on program evaluation and piloted it with UN folks from Tanzania, Rwanda, Kenya and Uganda. It was work that was deeply fulfilling, challenging and whole heck of a lot of fun.

– After a two year hiatus due to minor injuries, I’m really happy to say that our family is back on the ski hills again. We’ve made it up the mountain twice this year (no mean feat given how many accoutrements the sport comes with). There’s nothing like shushing down the slopes with my family, being enveloped by the natural B.C. beauty and enjoying hot chocolate and warming one’s toes at lunch.

– I’m indebted to the impulse that had me gather good friends together one evening some 4 years ago. We call ourselves the Goddesses. That group of women, as diverse and eclectic as we are, has met monthly all this time with the purpose of simply being onselef and checking in, whether we’re tired and grump or wildly ecstatic about some new project. What a privilege – space to simply be yourself and be treasured.
